  • Title: Enhancement of diffusion-controlled reaction rates by surface-induced orientational restriction.
    Author: Nag A, Dinner AR.
    Journal: Biophys J; 2006 Feb 01; 90(3):896-902. PubMed ID: 16299070.
    Abstract:
    We explore the means by which immobilization of a substrate on a surface can increase the rate of a diffusion-controlled enzymatic reaction. A quasichemical approach is developed and compared with Brownian dynamics simulations. We use these methods to show that restricting only the orientation of the enzyme by long-range interactions with the surface is sufficient for enhancing catalysis.
